UK researchers cool superconducting sensors for cancer treatment

Researchers from the University of Glasgow and the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory say they have developed a supercooled detector platform capable of detecting single photons. It uses a new form of cooling technology developed for space astronomy, but which could allow superconducting detectors to be used in cancer treatments, driverless cars and practical quantum communications. ...

Murata introduces 1mm x 0.5mm inductors

Murata has introduced the LQW15DN series of inductors for use in communication devices such as smartphones. Their 1005 size (1.0 × 0.5 mm) makes them the world’s smallest inductor at an inductance rating of 15 microH, claims Murata. Inductors for communications devices such as smartphones require miniaturization of the components for multifunctionality and multimodality as well ...

Battery tech could be the key to Dyson’s car

The key to Sir James Dyson’s electric car could be the battery technology he acquired with his $90 million acquisition of Sakti3 in 2015. Sakti3 was founded in 2012 by Michigan University professor Anne Marie Sastry, pictured with President Barack Obama at a White House Demo Day for entrepreneurs. Sakti3 was backed by GMVentures and ...
